Beskrivning
Illustrates the diversity of Jewish lesbian queer experience through a range of topics, voices, and genres, encouraging readers to rethink narrow conceptions of Jewishness.Jewcy: Jewish Queer Lesbian Feminisms for the Twenty-First Century presents the rich diversity of Jewish life from perspectives that center lesbian and queer Jewish feminist people and issues. Blending scholarship with poetry, memoir, and other genres, it reopens the field of Jewish lesbian writing that has been largely dormant since the early 2000s. The contributors illustrate the diversity of Jewish lesbian experience through a range of topics, voices, and genres and explore how this experience intersects with Black, Mizrahi, Sephardi, Indigenous, and trans identities. Opening timely new dialogues between the various fields of Jewish, feminist, queer, trans, decolonial, and critical race studies, Jewcy encourages readers both inside and outside the academy to rethink narrow conceptions of Jewishness.

"…Jewcy remains an essential contribution to Jewish feminist and queer scholarship—one that deserves a place on the shelves of rabbis, educators, and community leaders committed to broadening what Jewish belonging can mean. The collection's strength lies in its refusal to flatten difference or settle for a tidy narrative about who counts as authentically Jewish, queer, or feminist." — CCAR Journal"This volume … makes a deliberate and markedly successful effort to include not just a wide variety of genres, but a very diverse group of contributors in terms of racial, ethnic, Ashkenazi/Sephardi and class backgrounds, which is quite unusual, at least for a Jewishly-focused volume." — Nashim"Rather than avoiding points of tension, this innovative volume tackles them head on, offering a corrective to exclusionary lesbian/Jewish feminism and giving voice to the diversity of lesbian/Jewish experiences, including race, gender, age, religious background, and more. Brettschneider and her contributors show that lesbian/Jewish feminism can and must be trans inclusive and racially diverse. Recommitting to justice in the broadest sense, the book helps prove the ongoing value of lesbian/Jewish feminism in the twenty-first century." — Zohar Weiman-Kelman, author of Queer Expectations: A Genealogy of Jewish Women's Poetry
